Why can't I finish this quest...?
So, when I started this quest with the
Moon Mirror, I thought it would be relatively easy. I mean, how hard
could it really be to climb a cube-shaped tower, after all?
Especially since the character who comes along this time is Pearl,
the Jumi woman who was running around with Elazul earlier in the
game. She thanks you for helping her in the caves and says that she
got lost in thought again, though this tower, Leires, seemed to be
calling her somehow.
When she says she's going in, we're
given the choice of going with her, and like the hero I am, I
naturally say yes. Getting around in there is a little more
confusing than one might expect, but then again, it wouldn't be an
RPG dungeon otherwise. There are a lot of undead and spirit type
monsters in here. At this point, my levels are high enough that
they're not much of a problem, but they'd be a little easier if Pearl
had a weapon. What really kind of bites here is that I can't give
her one. I mean, I guess it's kind of understandable, since her
character is not supposed to be a fighter or anything, but you'd
think a person who's always getting lost in thought and wandering
into monster-infested areas would at least know how to use a knife to
defend herself. But at least this leads to the sort of behavior that
one might expect from such a character in that she's always hiding in
corners, needing to be rescued from the monsters.
At least there's some decent booty to
be had in here. Lots of stuff for building weapons and robots with
when I finally get around to getting that all set up. And the
monsters drop some decent weapons, too. There's an enchanted sword
that dropped a two-handed sword called a Braveblade. Kind of reminds
me of He-Man's
sword, really. Couldn't help but keep using it once I got going
with it.
Now, I had thought the objective was to
just get to the top of the tower, but it would seem that such was not
the case. I did manage to get to the top, and I had some idea of
what to expect. I was sorely let down by the fact that simply
getting to the top of the tower didn't let me use this
clip to explain the boss fight.
And speaking of Zuul, where is
Elazul in all of this, anyway? Maybe I'll find him by way of
exploring the various combinations of the holes in the tower walls
and the transporter room in the tower. And with any luck, that'll
get me to the end of this quest, too.
But that's for next
time, folks. Until then, stay safe, have fun, keep gaming, and
DFTBA!
